The next morning was really bad you know one of these moments where you just get too lazy to even

Move out of your bed and do something the last 2 months I have been doing nothing but running

Around getting information getting the apprenticeship helping a beast girl and rescuing a princess

It sounded like a fantasy novel well this is a fantasy world so what.

Because I wanted to make my weapons and had to keep my promise with

Catherine for letting drew alive I came out of the room albi also seemed to want

To just sleep so I carried her on my arms and walked down stairs there I could see

Mother and drew hanging the laundry drew seemed to relax when with my mother well I can’t blame her I killed 4 people so she has to be scared around me

She didn’t say anything about me thou well I expected it.

And about the killing I didn’t feel much about it it was as if it is second nature to me maybe a effect from the demon race I also found out that crossed breeds

Have many disadvantages in the trade they have only half of their natural skill

Mother told me about it the reason I cant use my void skill to the fullest is because I don’t have enough power but I will master it someday just later

Then anyone well I don’t really complain it’s a really useful skill and has many uses

That I will eventually need.

I decided to leave the house it was 5:30 o’clock in the morning I have to be at the smithy

At 6:00 o’clock drew seemed to get ready to follow me but I stopped her telling her that it would be better to stay for a while.I was getting more motivated albi was still sleeping in my arms

I told her to walk now and so she turned into her human form I always wanted

To ask how she keeps her clothing when she transforms but I don’t thing

The answer will interest me there are countless magical items with different

Abilitys so why not a skill for such purpose as well.

On our way to the smithy i thought about what weapon I would make I talked

With albi about it and she said that she also wants a weapon made by me

She says that she would prefer metal claws a knife or butterfly swords

a butterfly sword is something like a short sword but more wider and the handle

much bigger with a hand guard it has bend shape this world seemed to have also

such weapon and seeing that the name is the exact same I thought for a minute

and came up with a really good weapon.

We entered the smithy it was 6:04 o’clock because albi and I needed some food

Albi stormed at the fish I bought some seeing our budget increased a lot we bought some squid and tuna.When we passed by people they all looked at me with piercing eyes as if I was a criminal yeah maybe I am a criminal in their eyes

When I entered the smithy I could hear a loud voice

-You are LATE !

I looked at the clock and saw that only 4 minutes have been past since 6 o’clock

- just for some minutes its not like you guys have opened yet

-with that attitude you can just go home I cant believe I lost to you someone with

No experience in blacksmithing

I was thinking about my next words before speaking but got interrupted in the middle of it

-Who is she ?! you are not allowed to bring people here !

When I looked around I saw albi in her human form I forgot because we

Bought fish in the market so she was still in her human form I needed a explanation but albi took the initiative from me.

-I am masters servant so I must follow him and protect him

At that I didn’t have any good ideas seeing Lucy getting red made me a little

Nervous was she embarrassed or angry I couldn’t tell at last she just turned her head with humph noise and entered the smithy telling me to follow her I did

So and listened luke wasn’t here so i suppose she is in charge for now

-listen here our deal was that you would help here and in return we would

Let you work in here so I will give you some tasks and after that you can use the smithy however you want understood ?

I just nodded I wasn’t really hoping for a job this was better then just sit and listen

How to blacksmith even thought I already know but still I should read some about it maybe there is something different then what I know this world is mostly like a

VRMMO even thought I didn’t use magic I got properties on the iron sword

I should ask about it

-may I have ask a question first ?

-sure go on

-how do swords get properties without having to use magic ?

Lucy just wide eyed me as if saying “then how did you get properties with such a good sword”

Lucy in the end just sighed and explained to me how it works

After a hour of explanation I understood because this world has mana

Everywhere every item will have its own mana that it absorbed it isn’t alive

You can say that it just gets stronger and more robust and if a crafter crafts

Something the effect also kicks into the sword that the crafter made it will depend on the crafter what the weapon o item or armor will do he can make items in custom on what the item should have like a ability that burns or confuses your foe the crafter has just make the item with such intension but beginner crafters mostly gets something random on their sword with their feeling when the sword is made when you hit intermediate at blacksmithing you can custom a sword.

With that explanation I was satisfied but going back to my tasks

-well we don’t have much to do for a crafter here my father and I make the tools or swords and our agreement was only that you

help here out so I just gonna make you carry something or clean or jut make you stand in the shop

I just nodded

In the end I cleaned the shop carried some items to people and sold

Weapons I didn’t think much about it sometimes Lucy would take glances

At me and when I would return those glances she would just turn red and continue working and so 8 hours past it was 4 o’clock day time I didn’t know when my shift was going to end so I just waited until someone would say something to me and so Lucy came

-you shift is over you are free now you can use the smithy if you want I don’t care

-thanks

I was happy that I could use the smithy now albi wasn’t here she got bored when I started cleaning but she just came back right when my shift was over she really has good timing or it might be that she just knew I will ask her about that later.

When albi entered the door Lucy shrugged I couldn’t tell if it was okey that she was here but knowing that animals cant be here she had no choice

-master you are going to smith now ?

Albi seemed to be excited about it I could tell seeing her eyes sparkle I told her I would make a special weapon for her but I am worried I thought girls liked

Flowers candy or cosmetics or dresses but seeing albi I know that she likes meat

Weapons and she doesn’t care about clothes and her face doesn’t need any cosmetics her face alone makes her beautiful as it is.

With such words Lucy I and Albi left to the smithy I looked at Lucy for a second

-what its my smithy so I am allowed to be here you have a problem shrimp

Shrimp best name ever I cant believe she is really 2 years older then me

And so I started doing my thing I couldn’t just summon ore out of nothing

So I just summoned it back in the yard without Lucy knowing they had a wonderful

Backyard but they both didn’t seem to care about it so I just took the space

I didn’t know what ore was what and at the moment I realized I forgot something really mayor

-Lucy I forgot something can you teach me the identify skill

Lucy got confused at my question and said

-dont you have it ? the skill

-no I don’t

-then how did you know that you used iron to make the sword

-I tasted it so I could tell

Lucy made a understanding face but then it turned into a grim one

-so you need something from me huh

I didn’t like where this was going so just thought of something

-oh maybe i should ask luke about

-Father isn’t here he will be back after a week until then I will have to watch

The shop

So that why I didn’t see him all day

-ehm so what do you want lucy

I made a wryly smile I thought of the most bad thing that she could make me do

So I was ready

-I want to watch you smith that’s all

I didn’t think she would say that didn’t she say that its her smith and she can do whatever she wants ?

-I know that I said that I will watch anyways

-but seeing your friend over there watching me makes me uncomfortable

I looked at albi she was indeed watching Lucy as if she was an enemy I can

Understand lucy so it would be okey

-sure why not you teach me and you can watch if you want

-it’s a deal

The next thing was that she pulled a giant book with a lot of pictures and text

In it and said

-if you remember what this book contains you can learn the skill after you learn it

You don’t need to use the book

-how is the book gonna help me ?

I never read that the skill had to be learned with a book so I didn’t know

-the book isn’t you just make yourself familiar with ore types and tools

So you accumulate knowledge about the items used in blacksmithing

And so the skill will generate

After that she explained to me how the skill itself worked

It works pretty much like this the more you know about stuff the more you can identify it doesn’t matter if you don’t know about the item if have read about it you will identify it with the skill and if you don’t know it you wont be able to identify it but still may be able to identify the item with mana the skill is bound with mana.Mana is life so it accumulates memories also and if the item has mana then it can figure out what the item is the better you get to identify items the better you get control and more info about it

Its really confusing so i just started to shift through the pages and after 30 minutes

New Skill:IdentifySkill Info:

Identify you can identify make out any item with enough knowledge and wisdom because of high intelligence skill will start at beginner LVL.2

New Skill:MemoSkill Info:

Because of your high knowledge you are able to memorize things in one look or a second the more you memorize the more you will remember because of knowledge related skills and wisdom skill will begin at beginner LVL.5

I didnt think the skill would be learned so fast bu i kinda predicted it so i wasnt surprised but what caught me off

was that photographic memories are also included as skills so its really convenient i probably should level this skill more

for easy learning but not now

-i am done so what now ?

-what you are done ?

Lucy didnt look pleased she probably expected me to take longer but i finished in a half a hour so its really a miracle kind of thing

Albi wasn't surprised she probably expected that from me knowing that i am a strange fellow with a lot of

know how.

-okey then take the ore and then say identify then it should tell you what it is

I did as she said and picked a piece of ore and said

-"identify"

Drake oreItem Info:

A really hard ore that flames over 800 celsius cant melt its extremely hard to melt or broken

I is really a convenient skill to have so i just started to identify every piece of ore i had Lucy only now noticed that

there was a lot of ore then she thought there would be she even asked me if she can have one specific ore from the mountain

i didnt really care much and told her she can use the ore however she wants and she started to melt the ore i told her that

if she could melt the ore and make them into ingots she agreed because i gave her some and so i started making my weapons

i wanted 3 one handed axes 2 battle axes 4 straight swords 8 daggers with different types and 3 spears i made all of the weapons

they all had really good effects on them all of them were artifacts when i worked lucy was watching me non stop

maybe to learn something she could have asked me but her pride doesnt seem to want to back down so just continued

working it took me 2 and a half days to finish those weapons the description always said that it was made by a unknown blacksmith i liked that i didnt want to sell items i made for anyone and wanted to be that way.

well today was the day for me to make my primary weapons the swords and daggers i made were just for back up

drew often follows me she gets really bad looks from the villagers as me but it had been 3 days so they didnt seem to

concerned anymore my infamy was still there thou.

I walked with drew to the smithy at first she got flustered seeing lucy but lucy didnt seem to care she just ignored her

and thats it for the most time drew just helped me with the work or watch me work she doesnt speak much but

if she is spoken to she answers to it.

So i started to make my weapons i thought of Albi and had some ideas so i made some metal rods to use i hammered

them and put them together in witch i i slowly melted them and fold them the rods were long and thin as paper i made

them using some hard and soft ore i made the handle more thiner and longer than that of a normal sword and made

a round guard and after some hours i finished with 2 swords

Finally finished i made my katanas i always loved the japanese culture of weaponry and martial arts

so the weapons were also my favorite and the most fun to wield with.

But i still wasnt finished yet i had to make another 2 other types of weapons and in total it would be 6 including Albi

I got right back to work but then

-why did you make the sword so thin and long it will break really fast

I got a little spooked not gonna lie in these 3 days i havent been asked by Lucy on any explanation on

what the swords i made were so special about and even thought i had perception on in all times i came

to the point where i just ignored Lucy when i worked so i answered

-i wouldnt underestimate a opponent by his weapon if i were you

Lucy just snorted at that and continued listening drew also was interested so she join and even came in when i

said that i am not surprised.

-i made the weapon so that the user can concentrate on speed and accuracy it is very durable so i am

confident i could slice a great sword with this

Showing the blue blade with a grim smile i could see that they all had a pale face and so i continued making

weapons after another 4 days i finished albi and my weapons so i came to albi.

When she saw me coming started to get more excited the more i came i thought for i moment that she would

jump at me and took it slow

-here albi your weapons

-my weapons yeah !

i gave albi gloves with silver fur and some metal guards attached to them its finger tips had sharp blades

that could be take down by moving your wrist and back up doing the same move it looks like gloves

and turns to claws the nails them self dont look metallic even thought they are metal they look more like

light blue sharp crystals the glove was made with the wolf leather and is reinforced with some of the light blue

crystal ore it doesnt show that it is attached to it until you look closer

-this is incredible the nails are even harder and sharper then my own and i can hide them whenever i want

thank you Damon

She jumped at me and hugged me until i fell down she still didnt let go of me until drew and lucy came back

separating me from her

I also finished with my weapons it didnt take me long to finish i just needed some knowledge about gun powder

but knowing that it wont be enough i researched some in the research room for artificial technic or mechanism

i finally found it and finished this

It had no effects just 220 bonus agility i wonder why ?

New Title:Unknown Master CrafterTitle Info:

Because of your astonishing crafting skills the gods decided to give you a title on their own being a master crafter

no one knows

I was a little baffled by the title it said that the gods decided it so it must mean that there are gods when i read

through the books i found out that there were more then several lines that involved gods i never believed in god so

it wasnt my problem but now i dont know what o think and just accepted it

and about the gun It didnt bother me why it had no effects probably because it wasnt a blade but a gun a fire arm no one knows about i was pleased that i had a big advantage but i couldnt use the gun just yet because to fire it i need to be able to use

magic and without it i cant fire it i use the tiny mana stones as bullets i reinforced the mana stones with ore making

them look like a metal ball it was bigger then a normal bullet but the gun was also slightly bigger then original but it didnt bother

me having knowledge in those kind of thinks wasnt bad so i took every chance i could get and so my next goal is magic.

Looking around me Lucy was staring at the gun puzzeled she really wanted to ask about it but kept shut just looking

trying to figure out since i made the hidden blade she has been that way i didnt care and just took the ingots and everything

i made and put them into the carriage i couldnt just put them into the void just now Lucy would have questions from that

so just waited until i came home but then when i wasabou to leave.

-HEY DAMON WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GO !!!

Oh boy i completely forgot about catherine this is going to be bad
